Lars von Trier's 'Nymphomaniac' debuts provocative poster - picture

Lars von Trier's upcoming sex drama Nymphomaniac has released a provocative new poster.

The film, due for release in von Trier's native Denmark later this month, stars Charlotte Gainsbourg as a woman who recounts her sexual history to a man (Stellan Skarsgård) after he finds her badly beaten in an alleyway.

Shia LaBeouf, Willem Dafoe, Uma Thurman and Christian Slater also feature in the cast for Nymphomaniac. Nicole Kidman, who starred in von Trier's Dogville, was initially set to star but dropped out last October.

The movie will reportedly arrive in two separate versions: one with real sex scenes, and another described as "softcore".
